| Additional information |
The "Máscaras" series was issued by the Casa de Moneda de México in the mid-to-late 1990s as part of a broader program celebrating pre-Columbian and regional folk art through silver bullion coinage. The mask depicted on this issue draws from a tradition of ceremonial and dance masks that varies significantly by region — Guerrero, Michoacán, and Oaxaca each produced distinct traditions, some tied to Catholic feast days grafted onto far older indigenous rituals.
KM#620 covers the two-year run of 1997–1998. Mintage figures for individual years within the series were not widely publicized, making year-specific population data genuinely difficult to establish.
